#2989: "Add dataset to organization" should auto-select the organization

seanh — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:04:12 GMT

'Add dataset to organization' button, when you get through to the third stage of the new dataset form the organization you came from is not selected.

I don't see any option to choose the group when adding or updating a dataset, but if I add a dataset via the "Add dataset to group" button on a group's page, then the dataset seems to get added to that group. (And I can also add/remove existing datasets by editing the group.) I wonder if organizations should work the same way, instead of having an Organization drop-down when creating or updating a dataset. The add dataset page needs to somehow indicate that you're adding a dataset to a certain group or organization though, doesn't currently.

#2971: "Are ytou sure you want to delete this member?" should say which member

#369: "Package Listing Key" should appear on Tag results

shudson@… — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:00:34 GMT

Currently there's a nice legend titled "Package Listing Key" that appears in right side of "Browse Packages" results. The same key should show on other search results like when searching for a tag.

#2407: 'Access denied' message is unhelpful

markw — Mon, 21 May 2012 15:01:40 GMT

This chap tried to use the API to add a dataset to a group and got the uninformative message 'Access denied':

http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2012-May/002229.html

The problem was he didn't have access to the group. A message like 'You don't have access to the group "LODcloud"' would have been clearer.

#2966: 'Add' button text is wrong when editing organization members

seanh — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:15:49 GMT

e.g. if I just changed a member's capacity I am not adding anything 'save' is better maybe

#2265: 'More Like This' for a dataset

dread — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:20:20 GMT

When viewing a dataset, it would be nice to show a couple of 'Related Datasets'. i.e. ones that are similar.

SOLR has a feature for finding documents similar to a particular document, called 'More Like This'.

We would like this for DGU.

#2607: 'Upload a file' appears on resource form when storage not enabled

seanh — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:30:08 GMT

if the user tries to upload a file they will get "Failed to get credentials for storage upload. Upload cannot proceed"

Maybe add a test for it this time, this bug has appeared and reappeared before

#2411: .ini file is a mess

The .ini file needs cleaning up in assorted ways which Toby will expand upon.

#1697: A Configurable list of states for a Dataset

rgrp — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:23:50 GMT

Currently have 'active' and 'deleted' suggest also:

'draft'
'hidden'
(Do we need both). Also write out workflows related to these.

#2773: About page needs improving

markw — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 11:13:15 GMT

The about page for the DataHub? (thedatahub.org/about) could be improved. More importantly the default about page for a generic CKAN instance should be completely different - focus more on Open Data rather than the community hub idea (as this is more relevant for most installations) and remove specific references to tdh.

#2997: Add activity streams to dataset pages

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:31:46 GMT

Add an activity stream tab to dataset pages, like we have on user profile pages. Dataset activity streams are already implemented in the backend.

#2998: Add activity streams to group pages

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:33:14 GMT

Before we do this we should implement smarter group activity streams (i.e. what activities should appear in a group's activity stream?) and following of groups.

#2999: Add activity streams to organization pages

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:34:17 GMT

Before we do this we need to merge the organizations branch into master, we need to implement smarter activity streams for organizations, and we need to implement following of organizations.

#1667: Add an extension point for rendering activity streams

seanh — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:29:11 GMT

Currently rendering of activity stream events to HTML works by looking up a rendering function in a dictionary that maps activity types ('new package', 'changed group', etc.) to rendering functions that take an activity stream event and return the rendered HTML.

There needs to be an extension point where extensions can register their own rendering functions for particular activity types.

#2329: Add back in RSS/Atom links on relevant pages

#2991: Add blocks to header.html template

seanh — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 11:10:20 GMT

Currently if you want to customise the header.html template you have to copy the whole thing, it isn't broken up into blocks like other templates are.

#2905: Add dataset URL key behaviour

johnmartin — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:28:03 GMT

On step 1 for adding a dataset can we add a ajax ping that checks if the URL that is generated by the JS is taken? Behaviour should be as follows:

User types title in box (as current)
URL key is regexed by JS (as current)
The JS does a ajax call to check if the generated URL key is valid. The ajax callback returns a JSON dump which contains what the URL key should be (e.g. if 'test' was taken it returns 'test-1')
If the URL key returned in the ajax is different than the one generated by the JS then:
4a. If the user hasn't clicked the edit button then: it automatically updates the URL key field with the URL key supplied in the ajax

4b. If the user has clicked the edit button then: a form error next to the input appears saying that the URL key is taken and within that error is suggests the URL key returned by the ajax as alternative (the user can click said URL key within the error to automatically choose that one)

The URL key isn't reserved by the ajax and upon form submission the usual validation should still apply.

#2994: Add dataset and user popovers throughout the site

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:26:04 GMT

If you hover the mouse over a dataset or user in an activity stream, you now get a popover with some info about that dataset or user and a follow/unfollow button.

These popovers should appear wherever datasets or users are listed, throughout the site.

#2932: Add docstring to system_info.py

seanh — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:50:29 GMT

What is the system_info table for? It looks like a way to override config file settings in the database, perhaps so that admins can use a web interface to change site title etc. Could do with a docstring explaining the intended purpose of the table.

#2921: Add docstring to top of lib/extract.py file

seanh — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:00:07 GMT

I think it couldn't hurt for this module to have a docstring at the top of the file explaining what the module is for. I know from setup.py that it's there to provide the extract_ckan() string extractor function for Babel, but I think looking at the file on its own it's not so obvious.

Also a couple of other small fixes:

jinja2_cleaner looks like a helper function only meant to be used by extract_ckan(), might make things clearer if it was called _jinja2_cleaner(), just so it doesn't look like a public function the module wants to export.

jinja_extensions seems to be a module-level variable that is only used in one function, could be moved into the function, unless you think there might be more functions that want it in future.

#2370: Add examples of all config settings in default config file

seanh — Thu, 03 May 2012 10:50:37 GMT

The default config file should contains examples (maybe commented out) for all config variables. Makes it easier to edit the config. For example openid_enabled is not in there.

#2477: Add extensions section to readthedocs

shevski — Wed, 30 May 2012 15:54:04 GMT

Need a central up to date place for currently supported extensions (closest we have is http://wiki.ckan.org/List_of_Extensions) & their documentation. I suggest this gets added to a dedicated section of docs.ckan.org

#1643: Add fixed tags to thedatahub for better browsing

shevski — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:34:53 GMT

Similar to publicdata.eu, want to have themed areas such as finance, environment, census, etc and country tags

#3005: Add following/unfollowing of groups: model, API, frontend, tests

seanh — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:35:44 GMT

#2914: Add form_to_db_schema_options() to IDatasetForm and IGroupForm

seanh — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:29:55 GMT

This optional method is supported when creating or updating groups and packages and is used in DefaultGroupForm? and DefaultPackageForm?, but seems to be missing from the interfaces. Should be added with docstring.

#2883: Add high level dev overview to 'For CKAN Developers' section of docs

seanh — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 10:52:35 GMT

Here's a draft: https://gist.github.com/3414107

#2625: Add i18n strings from non-core but supported extensions to ckan.pot file

seanh — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:48:23 GMT

Have to decide which non-core extensions are going to be supported first.

#1165: Add multi-site support to ckan

nils.toedtmann — Thu, 26 May 2011 12:41:07 GMT

Currently, each ckan site needs its own ckan wsgi process. That eats a lot of resources where many ckan sites are served from one machine (e.g. eu3).

That would dramatically change if a ckan process could behave like multiple ckans (e.g. like Apache's "<VirtualHost?>", or tracd). Depending on the "Host:" header in the HTTP1.1 request, it would choose which local ckan ini file to obey.

I see two ways to constitute the map hostname-to-ini-file map:

ckan reads a set of ini files, and each ini file declares which servers names it is responsible for
In a global ini file, there are directives mapping servernames to ini files.
In either case there should be a global ckan ini having the default settings for all local ckan sites. Each site ini could be very short then, just having e.g. title, name, database credentials, active plugins etc.

#2538: Add multiple-instance support to ckanbuild

seanh — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:51:39 GMT

Probably use ansible to do this. To create an instance, create a dir at /etc/ckan/MYSITE, and put MYSITE.wsgi, MYSITE.ini and who.ini files in it. Also put a MYSITE file in /etc/apache2/sites-available. See the example files already present in ckanbuild. Booting a new site should be a single command.

May not handle the postgres/solr/elastic-search side of things yet, could just require the user to set these up herself first and then pass them as args to the create-instance command.

#2683: Add no-cache header to _tracking API call's response to make sure it doesn't get cached

seanh — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:49:37 GMT

#2541: Add non-core extensions to ckanbuild

seanh — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:57:06 GMT

We want some extensions from outside of CKAN core to be included in ckanbuild. These would be pip installed into the virtualenv before packaging the debian package. Decide which extensions to include.

#3000: Add number of followers to dataset pages

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:36:00 GMT

User profile pages now show some interesting stats about the user: num. datasets, num. edits and num. followers. Would be nice to add some similar info to dataset pages. At least num. followers can be done (already implemented in backend).

#1824: Add vocabulary pages

seanh — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:24:49 GMT

For a free tag foo you can visit the page at /tag/foo and see a list of all the datasets that have the tag foo, and when the tag appears on dataset view pages etc. it's linked to this tag page.

We should do the same thing for vocabulary tags. A tag bar in vocabulary baz should be hyperlinked to a page /tag/baz/bar, or perhaps /vocab/baz/bar.

#2200: Add vocabulary_id option to tag_show() logic action function

#3007: Adding a dataset creates multiple activities

seanh — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:15:07 GMT

Adding a new dataset creates multiple activity stream activities, e.g. seanh created the dataset foo, seanh add the resource bar to the dataset foo, and seanh updated the dataset foo are all created when I add a new dataset. I wonder if these can be collapsed into a single activity.

#1188: Allow diffing against initial (blank) package version

Currently the history page only allows diffing between different versions of a package, but there doesn't appear to be any easy way to see the changes introduced by the first version of a package.

I'm requesting the ability to diff against a "blank slate" initial state of a project, so I can see the content of the first project commit.

Not sure if this is a vdm feature, so I'm putting this ticket in against ckan.

#2956: Allow for resource editing in CKAN 2.0

#2688: Allow ordering of groups in WUI

#2922: Better docstring for CKANInternationalizationExtension

seanh — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:01:47 GMT

I'm unsure about what's going on here. As I understand it, when we run python setup.py extract_messages it's going to use the extract_ckan() function from ckan/lib/extract.py to process the HTML files. For the HTML files that are jinja2 templates, extract_ckan() will call jinja2_cleaner() which will call regularise_html() on the strings. So the strings are regularised when they are extracted from the source files.

But then we have the parse() method of CkanInternationalizationExtension? also calling regularise_html(). I don't get what's happening here. Why do the strings need to be regularised twice?

My guess is that CkanInternationalizationExtension? is used when the strings are extracted from the templates at runtime, and they need to be regularised at this time in order to match them against the regularised strings in the mo files to find the translations to output?

Maybe CkanInternationalizationExtension? needs a better docstring saying what it does?

~~[major] q does not seem to work reliably. e.g. using the setup from this gist https://gist.github.com/1930806 and doing a ?q=DE yields no results (does not work with "q=de" either)~~
~~q=second does work ...~~
[major] q does not work with 2 values (see below)
Query on search with limit 0 results in total of 0 (should either be null or correct total). Queries with other limits yield correct total AFAICT
Also weird fact that limit is returned but as as as string - should it not be an integer
Types on fields: could these not be canonical and as per recline (or is it important to allow exact sql types ...)
Multiple query values

Try a query such as: "second UK" and you will get 500 error:

http://localhost:5000/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=4f1299ab-a100-4e5f-ba81-e6d234a2f3bd&q=second%20UK

#837: CKAN integration with freebase gridworks / google refine

rgrp — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:10:09 GMT

Thread: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2010-November/000718.html

Scenario 1

User installs Refine and CKAN extension for refine
On booting refine and asked to load data they can choose from any data package on CKAN.net (or any other CKAN instance)
They edit the dataset on Refine
On save (or perhaps as a separate option) they are prompted as to whether they wish to sync the dataset back to CKAN (either as a new package or as a new resource on the existing package)
NB: for the dataset sync back some form of "CKAN" storage would be required (we already have storage.ckan.net running but a closer integration would be required)

Scenario 2

User visits a package on CKAN.net (or another CKAN instance)
There is a button on the page "View and edit this dataset in Google Refine"
Click button -- ask them if they have Google refine installed
Yes: instructions for loading dataset into refine
No: load dataset in hosted version of google refine (we could run this)
User edits dataset and hits save. As in previous scenario they are prompted to sync the dataset.

#2890: Collect data previews and data store docs in one chapter

seanh — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:20:36 GMT

Currently there is this page:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/data-viewer.html

which covers Recline Data Explorer and other kinds of data preview in CKAN. It is under the Publishing Datasets section in the documentation. I had to to a search for 'recline' to find it.

Separately there is this page: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7.1/datastore.html which covers datastore, datastorer, and the data api.

I suggest collecting this together in one chapter called 'Data Previews'. If I understand it right the general gist would be:

CKAN has builtin previews of data resources on resource pages, enabled by default.

Images, Google Documents, and web page resources will be loaded into embedded iframes for preview.

Text-like files will be displayed raw.

CSV or Excel files uploaded to CKAN will be previewed using Recline Data Explorer.

Additionally, you can enable CKAN's DataStore?, requires you to install ElasticSearch? and nginx and put datastore.enabled=1 in your ini file. Lets you use the Data API to query data.

Does having DataStore? enabled mean you get preview of more types of resources? Any resource that's available via the Data API will be previewed using Recline,

You can install ckanext-datastorer, and then CSV and Excel files _linked to_ as CKAN resources will be previewed using Recline also. Requires celeryd.

#1182: Comments from deleted packages appear in "Recent Comments" feed

timmcnamara — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 22:24:11 GMT

When a package has been deleted, say for spam moderation, comments still appear in the recent comments section.

This is a problem because non-admin users will be shown a warning that they're not authorised to view the package if they click on the link.

#2415: Confusing message on attempting to register new account with upper case

On registering a new account, if you try to use a capital letter in your 'Login', you get the unhelpful error message:

"The form contains invalid entries: Name: Url must be purely lowercase alphanumeric (ascii) characters and these symbols: -_"

What does 'Name' or 'Url' have to do with anything? It means 'Login must be ...'

#2813: Confusing sidebar on demo dataset page

markw — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 10:03:26 GMT

On a dataset page on demo.ckan.org, the left sidebar is confusing.

It starts with some random links. Actually they are links to groups which the dataset is in, but this isn't clear.
The sidebar elements that are actually part of the dataset are 'Datset extent' and 'License', so these should be right at the top (if they belong in the sidebar at all), instead of which they are right at the bottom in the junk part of the page (i.e. probably lower than the bottom of the main page, and hence lower than anyone will scroll).

#2287: Consistent datetime and time period strings localization

seanh — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:08:43 GMT

Find all places where date, times and time periods are rendered as strings in CKAN. Make them all go through the same code path (e.g. the helper function in helpers.py) with localization support.

For example, on the user index page right now there are time period strings like "less than 1 month" that currently do not get translated (and the way they're implemented doesn't look i18n-friendly).

ISO date format everywhere might be a good idea.

Need to consider local timezone issues.

Python standard library and Babel may have useful helpers for this.

Should the local timezone displayed be a global setting per CKAN instance? Or should it change depending on the location of the user who is viewing the page?

#2838: Context variables accepted by action functions need to be documented

in an extension and one of the group_dicts fields, one that uses convert_to/from_extras, was coming out with the wrong value. It took me ages to realise that I had to pass 'extras_as_string': True in the context. I don't think this or other context variables are documented anywhere.

#2552: Controlling access to features

ross — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:26:10 GMT

Requirements

To provide a freemium service it is necessary to be able to provide differing levels of functionality based on the type of user (see #2550). These levels can be specific to the data hub but may require overriding functionality from core to provide these checks.

Initial implementation should focus on limiting access to datastore disk space.

Interface

These changes are currently only for the data hub and should be kept as much as possible within the data hub extension.

User Stories

As a system component I want to find out if the current user has access to a feature (i.e. storage) and if so to what extent (xMb, xGb or unlimited).
As a system administrator I don't expect to need to manage the levels of users or the features that this applies to.

#3014: Crash when deleting a non-empty vocabulary

seanh — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 10:50:08 GMT

From Knud Möller:

when I try to delete a non-empty tag vocabulary via the API (through HTTP), I get an internal server error. Checking the logs, this turns out to be a consistency error raised by sqlalchemy:

Error - <class 'sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError?'>: (IntegrityError?) update or delete on table "vocabulary" violates foreign key constraint "tag_vocabulary_id_fkey" on table "tag" DETAIL: Key (id)=(21421955-7560-467c-af30-9f790b73e6ae) is still referenced from table "tag".

'DELETE FROM vocabulary WHERE vocabulary.id = %(id)s' {'id': u'21421955-7560-467c-af30-9f790b73e6ae'}

URL: http://33.33.33.10:5000/api/action/vocabulary_delete

The error makes sense, but I'm wondering if it would be useful to extend the API to also allow the deletion of non-empty vocabularies, possibly via a parameter (not sure what best practice in API design is). At the very least, it would be cool if the error message coming back in the response had more information in it.

Embeddable list of *my* datasets
Either these live at: {site}/widgets and we have some kind of generator (form where I choose my group, or my query).

Or: we have this attached to areas of site where relevant.

Can combine the 2 so that the latter links to the former. Think first will be easier to do and possibly more useful long-term (e.g. can just link people to that page).

#1679: Default roles problem

dread — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:57:22 GMT

The 'editor', 'anon_editor' and 'reader' roles are intended to have immutable actions. This was designed to prevent their names being subverted - e.g. an editor should always be able to edit! It also meant that when we add Actions (e.g. DELETE-PACKAGE) then it can be added sensibly to these roles in an upgrade just by changing the defaults table (ckan/model/authz.py).

The problem is that this immutability is only enforced on 'db upgrade'. So you can happily change the editor role using the paster command and it works, right up until you do an upgrade and realise permissions are different.

We should stop the paster commands being able to edit these roles. Or get rid of the immutability completely. Views?

#2814: Demo: upload file behaves oddly

markw — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 10:06:00 GMT

Uploading a file behaves counter-intuitively (I would suggest wrongly).
When adding a new resource by uploading a file, I select a file called say create-group.png. I expect the following to happen:

the pathname of that file is filled in the box;
nothing is actually uploaded till I hit 'add' (confirming that I've got the right file etc).
Instead of this,

the file is immediately and, seemingly, irrevocably uploaded;
the box is filled with a mysterious URL (https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/ckan-demo ...)
the mysterious URL is so long I can't even see the final element, which is my file name.

#1227: Display packages' tags in search results

timmcnamara — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:11:02 GMT

In when displaying search results, it would be useful to also display the tags of a package. Sometimes it's difficult to infer the scope of what the package does from the title and the first sentence of the description. Tags are quite concise way to display rich information.

ENV=datacatalos.org, with CKAN 1.4.2a

Just like we display download counts we should display view counts.

#2761: Document all the errors you can get when setting up filestore, and how to fix them

seanh — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:36:06 GMT

Add it to a 'Troubleshooting' section on the filestore page: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7.1/filestore.html

For the error messages and their solutions, see various threads on ckan-dev

#2520: Document undocumented config options

seanh — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:52:48 GMT

There are 21 undocumented config options in CKAN, some of which are not mentioned in the config file template either:

ckan.admin.name ckan.admin.email ckan.default.group_type ckan.page_cache_enabled ckan.cache_enabled ckan.cache_expires ckan.extra_resource_fields ckan.extra_resource_group_fields ckan.storage.key_prefix ckan.storage.max_content_length ckan.feeds.authority_name * ckan.feeds.date * ckan.feeds.author_name * ckan.feeds.author_link * ckan.mail_from ckan.gravatar_default * ckan.plugins ckan.api_url ckan.auth.profile ckan.datastore.enabled ckan.tracking_enabled

There are also some options that are in the default deployment.ini even though they're deprecated:

ckan.async_notifier carrot_messaging_library ckan.build_search_index_synchronously

See email to ckan-dev from David Read: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2012-June/002447.html

It'd be best if the docs could be automatically pulled from the source into sphinx using autodoc, see #1358

#2771: Documentation and examples for IDatasetForm and IGroupForm

seanh — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:30:38 GMT

Add minimal, working IDatasetForm and IGroupForm example extensions to core, with tests.

The IDatasetForm example should use tag vocabularies (two birds with one stone)

The IDatasetForm and IGroupForm docs are not very good (and are somewhat spread around different doc chapters), fix them up, and reference the new working examples.

Tab Vocabularies docs should reference IDatasetForm example.

When using convert_to/from_extras() you have to remove any free extras from the form or it won't work, this needs to be documented (in the docstring maybe)

There have been recent changes to the schemas that IDatasetForm and IGroupForm use, make sure the docs are up to date.
